No, the word "depressant" is confusing you here. Anti means against, so an anti-depressant is something that acts against depression. In this case, the word means clinical depression which is a mood disorder that makes you feel uncontrollably sad and defective.

Depressant in the area of heart and blood pressure is referring to the other meaning of the word, which is to lower or decrease something. In this case, they are probably trying to lower your heartbeat or the strength of the beat, both of which can cause your heart to wear out and become damanged.
